I would almost recommend space: above and beyond, but 3/4 of the episodes were "meh"
or too over the top, or just a really high cheese/cliche factor.
although, butts was fantastic. You'll never listen to Johnny Cash the same way after.

Well that was pretty good, nothing mind damaging like watching Mr.Blonde dancing to 'Stuck in the Middle With You'.
Extras (same guy from the first office) so freaking funny!!
Always sunny in philadelphia
Weeds
Arrested Development
Frasier(Its actually a good show)
Corner Gas
24 of course
house
Seinfeld
Weeds seems right up your alley. WKRP season 1 is out, and it has many of the classic episodes.
I was always a fan of King of Queens.
Family Guy
The problem with this WKRP set is a) much of the music has been changed to generic filler and b) these are the shortened episodes to fit the more recent episode lengths (shorter by 1-2 minutes.) I want the originals!

I can understand that the music has been changed with filler, due to licensing issues. But, I probably wouldnt buy it because of that.
Cutting each episode to fit the newer shorter lengths is totally inexcusable. Why cut something on DVD to make it the shorter? The shorter standard could only be to fit in more commercials, which shouldnt matter in the least for DVD releases. What, do they think nobody will notice we watch more commercials now than in the past if they cut DVD release too?!?!
Does anyone know if they did anything stupid like this on the HD-DVD releases of Star Trek Season 1?
If you're looking for some funny shows, and you have no problem with British humor then you should check out Jeeves & Wooster and Fawlty Towers. Those that like these shows like them a lot.

More than likely they did it because the clipped things like Johnny speaking over music. That would allow them to get down to the shortened running time and not need to attempt to replace the music.
Now that they are putting it on DVD they don't want to go back and replace the music so they just leave the scene out and use the shortened episodes.

Yes, Minister was a glorious British political sit-com. I think they used to have a political science course specifically on that show at the UoC. Before my time.
I hate to go on about The Wire again but damn it is just such a good show. The writing is better than anything else on TV, interweving tons of characters and never leaving anything behind.
The acting is from top to bottom fantastic.
Honestly it just makes the rest of TV look like a pile of junk...and I like a lot of TV. But this show just sets a higher bar.
